George C. Sellon

George C. Sellon (February 2, 1881—October 13, 1954)[1] was the first state architect of California. He resigned as State Architect on May 1, 1909 after the legislature passed a resolution to prevent him from working on his own designs and from bringing in private commissions as State Architect.[2] He went on to form a private architectural practice in Sacramento in 1909, which later became Lionakis.[2]

He designed a number of important works, including some which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
